SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on setting up the G95 Fortran compiler within the Cygwin environment on Windows Vista. User Amanda successfully installed Cygwin and added it to the PATH variable but faced confusion regarding the installation of G95. The solution provided is to download the "Self-extracting Cygwin x86" version of G95 from the official G95 website and execute it within the Cygwin terminal. The specific download link is http://ftp.g95.org/g95-Cygwin.exe, and users must call the binary from a Cygwin prompt.

PREREQUISITES
  • Cygwin installation on Windows
  • Understanding of environment variables in Windows
  • Basic knowledge of command-line operations
  • Familiarity with Fortran programming language
NEXT STEPS
  • Download and install G95 Fortran compiler for Cygwin from http://ftp.g95.org/g95-Cygwin.exe
  • Learn how to configure environment variables in Windows for Cygwin
  • Explore command-line usage of Cygwin for compiling Fortran code
  • Research troubleshooting common issues with G95 and Cygwin integration
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for biology majors and other students or professionals who need to compile Fortran code using Cygwin, as well as developers looking to set up G95 in a Cygwin environment.

I was given a CD with fortran files as part of my senior year project
(biology major here), that said in order to compile the code (using
cygwin), to install 'cygwin' and 'g95' Fortran compiler. I think i got
the 'cygwin' succesfully installed (after watching numerous youtube
videos) on my Windows Vista (added it to 'path' variable in
Environmental Variables). But when it comes to g95 i am confused, what
to install (there are so many packages/binaries on G95 website)? It
mentions about 'minGW' on the G95 website, would i still need 'minGW'
if i installed cygwin?

can you please help me in getting 'g95' compatible with 'cygwin' ?

Thanks,
Amanda

It seems you have to go to the G95 download page, and choose "Self-extracting Cygwin x86". After the download, just execute the archive to get the G95 installed in your Cygwin.
The link:
http://ftp.g95.org/g95-Cygwin.exe

PS: Call the binary "g95-Cygwin.exe" FROM a cygwin prompt.
